Question

which event is most likely to occur?
answer attempt 1 out of 3
rolling a multiple of 5 on a six-sided die, numbered from 1 to 6.
spinning a spinner divided into five equal-sized sections colored red/green/yellow/blue/purple and landing on red or blue or yellow.
winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 26 tickets.
reaching into a bag full of 17 strawberry chews and 3 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate die roll probability

Multiples of 5 on 1-6 die: {5}. Probability: $\frac{1}{6} \approx 0.1667$

Step2: Calculate spinner probability

Favorable sections: 3 (red/blue/yellow). Total sections: 5. Probability: $\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$

Step3: Calculate raffle winning probability

Your tickets: 26. Total tickets: 100. Probability: $\frac{26}{100} = 0.26$

Step4: Calculate chew draw probability

Strawberry chews:17. Total chews: $17+3=20$. Probability: $\frac{17}{20} = 0.85$

Step5: Compare all probabilities

$0.85 > 0.6 > 0.26 > 0.1667$

Answer:

Reaching into a bag full of 17 strawberry chews and 3 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew.
